Crisp White-Hearted Cabbage Seeds

We promise to provide you with high-quality, fresh and viable flower seeds.

Bullet Points:

• The Ultimate Coleslaw Cabbage: The tightly packed, snow-white core and pale, paper-thin outer leaves shred into the most beautifully crunchy, sweet ribbons perfect for creamy dressings and tangy slaws.
• Exceptionally Mild & Sweet Flavor: Unlike some bitter, dark-green varieties, this pale cabbage offers a delicate, refreshing sweetness that appeals to both kids and adults.
• Fast-Maturing & Heavy Yield: A reliable early variety that matures in about 65 days, producing solid, dense heads that feel heavy and incredibly firm in your hands.
• Perfect for Fresh Eating & Wraps: The crisp, flexible leaves are sturdy enough to hold fillings without cracking, making them ideal for low-carb wraps and sandwiches.
• Excellent Cold-Hardy & Garden Reliable: Thrives in cool spring and fall weather. Extremely uniform growth makes it a favorite for both commercial farmers and home gardeners.
• Versatile Kitchen Staple: Amazing for creamy coleslaw, healthy lettuce-free wraps, sautéed side dishes, hearty cabbage rolls, and fresh summer salads.

How to Plant & Grow:

• Site Preparation: Cabbages are heavy feeders! Choose a sunny spot with deep, loose, and incredibly fertile soil. Work 4 inches of aged compost and a balanced organic vegetable fertilizer into the top 8 inches of soil.
  
• Sowing: Direct sow seeds outdoors in early spring (as soon as the soil can be worked), or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date. For a fall crop, plant in mid-summer. Plant seeds ½ inch (1.2 cm) deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination (5-10 days).

Spacing:

• For Standard Round Heads (3-5 lbs): Space seedlings 18 to 24 inches (45-60 cm) apart in rows spaced 24 to 36 inches (60-90 cm) apart.
• For Smaller/Intensive Heads: Reduce spacing to 12 inches (30 cm) apart.
• Square Foot Gardening (SFG): Plant 1 plant per 1-square-foot area.
• Watering: Deep, consistent watering is critical for tight, sweet heads. Provide about 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5-4 cm) of water per week. Fluctuating moisture can cause the heads to split open.
• Harvesting: Check for firmness: When the heads feel dense, solid, and hard when gently squeezed (usually 60-70 days), they are ready.Use a sharp knife to cut the thick stalk just below the lowest head leaves.
• Gardener's Tip: To prevent heads from splitting open during autumn rains, when the cabbage head is almost mature, give the plant a firm twist by hand at the root level. This breaks some roots and stops the plant from taking up excess water, preventing splitting.
